This is what Taylor Swift typically eats in a day

Over the years, many celebrities have revealed how they stay so fit and healthy. While some may still swear by weight-loss cleanses, many of Hollywood's elite aren't all about the quick fixes these days, but rather essential — and simple — modifications to two things you've heard countless times before: diet and exercise. In this regard, Taylor Swift is not unique. However, she has chosen ways to stay healthy that both fit her lifestyle and have received praise from professionals.

As far as staying in shape is concerned, Swift relies on celebrity trainer Simone De La Rue, creator of the Body by Simone Method. The ten-time Grammy award-winning artist isn't looking to "get skinny" though, as she explained to Allure (via Today). "It's so that I can keep up my endurance so I'm not panting on stage," she said. She also tries not to indulge "too much." But, what exactly does that mean? Keep reading to find out what T-Swift's food diary would look like today.

Her go-to breakfast is anything but simple

Swift leads a super busy life. As of this writing, the country star is hopping from state to state as part of her Reputation Stadium Tour. No one would blame her if she rolled out of bed and poured herself a bowl of Cheerios or unwrapped a Pop-Tart first thing in the morning. Nevertheless, Tay-Tay is all about sit-down breakfasts despite her hectic life. "I love making buckwheat crepes with ham, Parmesan cheese, and a fried egg on top," she told Bon Appétit before adding: "It's my go-to breakfast."

Swift keeps thinly sliced deli ham, eggs, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese in her fridge at all times, which is great because then she can always prepare her favorite morning meal. But, what good is a beautiful breakfast without some freshly squeezed fruit juice, right? Swift said she always has some orange juice on hand as she drinks it "with breakfast every morning."

Forget buying tickets to the tour, can we buy tickets to Taylor Swift's brunch?

Eating healthy "during the week"

While Swift's breakfast of eggs, cheese, and meat may not blow you away as the healthiest meal ever, she does strive to stick to a wholesome diet throughout the typical workweek. While healthy eating can mean different things to different people, Swift told WebMD that, for her, it involves adding "salads, yogurt, and sandwiches" to her diet "during the week," while also cutting out "sugary drinks."

Swift admitted that while she does try to keep her meals fairly light, she doesn't believe in following a very strict diet. "I don't like to create too many rules where I don't need them. We know what's good for us, thanks to common sense," the singer explained. Of course, knowing what's good for us and sticking to what's good for us are two vastly different things. Regardless, Swift seems to have been able to successfully strike the balance — and you don't need us to tell you that it's working.

The weekends are a different story

Swift may try to keep her weekday meals light, but, as far as the weekends are concerned, anything goes. "I allow myself to eat what I know from common sense is bad for me," Swift chuckled while telling WebMDher weekend eating habits. Instead of the aforementioned "salads, yogurts, and sandwiches," Swift is more likely to order "a burger and fries." The star also admitted that she's a huge fan of ice cream, so that will often be on the menu for Saturday or Sunday.

While it may sound a little counterintuitive from a health perspective to eat well from Monday to Friday and then eat some less-than-healthy foods on the weekends, registered dietician and the nutrition director of Duke University's Diet and Fitness Center Elisabetta Politi said it's actually a good thing. "Food is not the enemy, and Taylor is really to be commended for enjoying what she eats. We should all be eating in a mindful way and enjoying every moment that we do," she told WebMD. That's right, you have permission to satiate that ice cream craving.

Southern and comfort foods are a must

Southern food is not necessarily known for being healthy. From sugary sweet tea to buttery biscuits to fried chicken, Southern dishes are often some of the hardest to resist — and easiest to consume. This is likely even more difficult for those living in country food heaven, aka Nashville, Tennessee.

During a Vanity Fair interview at her Nashville apartment, Swift made it clear that she enjoys country cooking by ordering chicken sandwiches and lavender lemonade from one of her favorite restaurants in town. Although a Southern staple, Swift admitted to InStylethat she "never enjoyed anything with the word casserole in it ever before." That is, until she tried sweet potato casserole. Life: changed. The country star told of Del Frisco's, a restaurant that serves the dish, and described it as "basically sweet potatoes with this brown sugary crust." She added, "Oh my God, it's amazing." If you've never had it, just know that Swift summed it up accurately.

She's all about those PSLs

Love it or hate it, the number of people that flock to Starbucks for their first Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) of the season only seems to keep growing — even as fall somehow comes earlier and earlier every year. If you're a lover of all things pumpkin spice, who knows, you may just run into T-Swizzle in line one day. That's right — Swift is a fan of the autumnal beverage — and the coffeehouse chain in general. In fact, she gets a Starbucks latte each and every day.

Since she tries to eat lighter throughout the week, she orders a skinny vanilla latte during the traditional workweek. On the weekends, full-fat lattes are in order and, if they're in season, she'll pick up a PSL. "The point is," she told WebMD, "I'm never cutting out what I love, which is Starbucks."

Swift further pledged her allegiance to all things pumpkin spice, writing on Tumblr (via Cosmopolitan) that she loves autumn because it involves "not caring when people make fun of pumpkin flavored stuff cause you LOVE IT and are happy it's all the rage." That's right, ladies. There's no shame in embracing your "basic" instinct.

She drinks a ton of water

Swift is all about caffeinated beverages, but she also makes sure to consume a lot of water. When Bon Appétit asked the star what kinds of food she brings with her on the road, Swift replied, "I have so much water in my dressing room — because I drink, like, ten bottles of water a day." Woah. If Swift is talking about ten standard 16.9-ounce bottles, that means she's guzzling 169 ounces — or about one and one-third gallons — of water per day. At this point, you may be wondering if Swift has sprouted gills.

While it does sound like a lot, it's not a bad thing to consume that much water in a day — with one important caveat. According to Medical News Today, the average person's kidneys can handle up to seven gallons daily, but no more than 1 liter (or two standard size bottles of water) per hour. So Tay-Tay, please pace yourself!

She's a grilling machine

It's certainly a gender stereotype to imagine that only men grill, but the truth of the matter is this: Men are twice as likely to, for lack of a better word, man the grill. According to survey data from the NPD Group (via NPR), only 19 percent of households reported women to be the grillers of the family. Oddly enough, these figures have remained the same for decades.

Swift, however, is in the small percentage of female grillers. In an interview with Bon Appétit, Swift dubbed grilling her "biggest food revelation." She told the publication: "When I figured out how to work my grill, it was quite a moment. I discovered that summer is a completely different experience when you know how to grill."

Swift now whips up some healthy grilled dishes like marinated chicken, "garlic green beans," and a variety of other veggies. Of course, she also loves to make the classic grilled food: burgers.

Although the two friends weren't able to celebrate together in person, Swift didn't let the distance stop her from baking — and likely eating — the beyond yummy-looking confectionary.

These are her favorite cold weather — and not so cold weather — foods

Cold weather months go perfectly with baked goods and comfort foods, which just so happen to be two of Swift's favorite things to whip up. "Winter is my favorite season because of the food and the smells and the spices and how everyone is feeling everything so intensely and giving each other things," the singer told Bon Appétit.

She further added, "I bake pumpkin bread for everyone I know and make ginger molasses cookies and hot chocolate and chai." Jealous. Regardless of the season, Swift also admitted to keeping a supply of "binge food," whether that be ready-made cinnamon rolls or a container of cookie dough.

Swift also told the publication that her favorite dish to eat when visiting home is her mom's "brisket and pot roast." Mama Swift apparently makes some killer toffee too, made with a mix of brown sugar, chocolate chips, butter, and Saltine crackers. Umm, yes please. "Those are high-calorie days for me," the singer admitted. But, like she said, she doesn't believe in cutting out the foods she loves. We feel you, Tay.
